Details

Beast.jpg
I have a Warwick Thumb NT priced to sell.

Specs:
Year: 2002
Body: Bubinga Pommele
Neck: Ovangkol
Fingerboard: Tigerstripe Ebony (very dark)
Hardware: Black with gold accented saddles
Tuning Keys: Hipshot Ultra-light
Nut: Brass just-a-nut iii

Noteworthies:
Bass has a refurbished truss rod that's sustained little use (thus it has fresh turning). Being said, the Ovangkol neck is very, very stiff, so be prepared to work for it.

Neck has a polite, satin finish from use. It feels more worn in and woody.

Bass has new Dunlop Superbrites, so if you're a 120-100-80-60-40 player, be prepared for fresh feel.

Truss rod cover is worn out. Cannot be opened the traditional way and needs to be unscrewed entirely from the headstock to adjust truss rod. This can be replaced if it is burdensome.

Bass has very few battle scars. It's a strong piece of wood. Pickups have sustained an appreciable level of wear. It has a fresh coat of beeswax for the journey.

The straplok from the bridge-position has been moved off the center-line of the bass, to an area on upper flank (similar to older thumb basses). This helps with weight-distribution. There is a screw hole where the old straplok used to be.

Full disclosure: I know this bass like the back of my hand, ask me any questions.

That is incorrect. The font is upside down but the cover itself is oriented correctly.
Nope. They didnt print the font backwards...the removable snap in cover is on upside down. Ive not only owned hundreds of Warwicks, but I used to be a dealer for them. Never has Warwick printed the logo backwards. The snap in piece can be put in either way, but when its in backwards, it doesnt snap out easily.

Went to it and rechecked, you were right. Thanks, now I can send it off proper.
